Quanta

[:eu]Examine evolution over the course of years or centuries, and you’ll find that it progresses much more quickly than it does over geologic time. Now the oldest viruses on the […]

[:eu]Computational physicist Sharon Glotzer is uncovering the rules by which complex collective phenomena emerge from simple building blocks.[:]

[:eu]For centuries, mathematicians tried to solve problems by adding new values to the usual numbers. Now they’re investigating the unintended consequences of that tinkering.[:]

[:eu]A decades-old method called the “bootstrap” is enabling new discoveries about the geometry underlying all quantum theories.[:]

[:eu]For Sylvia Serfaty, mathematics is all about truth and beauty and building scientific and human connections.[:]

[:eu]Physicists are closing the door on an intriguing loophole around the quantum phenomenon Einstein called “spooky action at a distance.”[:]

[:eu]The ancient Greeks argued that the best life was filled with beauty, truth, justice, play and love. The mathematician Francis Su knows just where to find them.[:]

[:eu]Life was long thought to obey its own set of rules. But as simple systems show signs of lifelike behavior, scientists are arguing about whether this apparent complexity is all […]

[:eu]Researchers have discovered that simple “chemically active” droplets grow to the size of cells and spontaneously divide, suggesting they might have evolved into the first living cells.[:]
